The vote that might end EU anti-deforestation law
Update: 2024-11-14
Description
On Thursday (14 November), the European Parliament will decide the fate of a landmark anti-deforestation law, the EUDR, which aims to break the link between EU imports and global forest loss.
According to the UN, 10 million hectares of forest – an area the size of Portugal – vanish yearly due to unsustainable practices.
Proposed amendments, however, threaten to narrow its scope and delay its rollout, leaving activists worried that a diluted law could fail to tackle deforestation. But who among the MEPs wants the end of anti-deforestation law, and why?
In this episode, host Giada Santana and agrifood reporter Sofia Sánchez Manzanaro outline supporters and detractors of EUDR, and possible scenarios ahead of the vote.
